football's number one madman

Chapter 91 Chelsea or Liverpool?

2 month 1 day.

When Pochettino announced his squad at the pre-match press conference, the media who were watching the excitement immediately booed their disappointment.

Without Kane, Eriksen, Rose, Walker, Lori, the head coach of Tottenham actually dispatched more than half of his youth players in the second round!
These players are even two years younger than Li Bo Luo!

"You are only two goals behind, why should you give up?"

"Think about Super Laco, think about Liverpool in Istanbul, do you lack sportsmanship by doing this?"

"You are a Premier League team, so there's no need to admit counseling in front of a League Two team, right?"

"When you do this, why did you have the face to laugh at Liverpool before?"

……

Facing the same flood of questions and ridicule from the reporters on the scene, Pochettino did not respond:
"I think a team's energy is limited after all, we need to balance the league and the cup, and make trade-offs if necessary. Under the current circumstances, I prefer the team to focus on the Premier League. League, as long as we can qualify for the European competition in the end, today's sacrifice is worth it."

His words are not unreasonable. After all, even if they can reverse tomorrow, they will face Liverpool or Chelsea in the final, and these two teams are Tottenham's bitter owners in this year's league!
They were slaughtered by Chelsea three goals on the road, and after returning to the home court, they saved a bit of face with the home advantage + Kane's explosion 5-3.

Against the weak Liverpool, Tottenham was not as good as against Chelsea. It was a pity that they lost 2:3 in the away game, but it was even worse when they returned to the home court, and they lost 0:3 directly!

Facing both teams, Pochettino is not sure of winning.

Be confident, and the same is true for replacing "must win" with "draw"!
He is about to be psychologically shadowed by these two teams!

Instead of hoping to be defeated by the Reds or Blues in the final, it is better to go home in the semi-finals, so that at least it will not be too sad.

After all, in the field of sports, the runner-up is always the one who fails the most...

With this mentality, on the evening of February 2, the Tottenham Youth Army visited the King's Grass Court very politely.

Wimbledon, who was full of fighting spirit, didn't have much enthusiasm after seeing this group of hairy boys. Li Bo Luo even gave up his "trash talk" provocation before the game, and played with his opponent for 90 minutes.

The scene of this game was very dull for a while.

Although the opponent was only the youth team, the cautious Adre still decided to defend in an all-round way. In order to do the best defense, he did not even send Ajinfenwa to play, but arranged Dubis, who was good at counterattack, in front.

But until he was substituted in 75 minutes, Dubis did not get any chance to counterattack. Instead, Aziz, who replaced him, stole the ball from the young defender of Tottenham after 3 minutes, and then directly broke the substitute. The goalkeeper's ten fingers...

"Drip, drip, drip~~"

When the referee blew the whistle of the end of the game, the cheers of the King's grass players were not as enthusiastic as they had imagined.

Including Adre, everyone's attention has long been away from the showdown that has been decided by the overall situation. Instead, they are paying attention to another powerful dialogue dozens of kilometers away:
Chelsea vs Liverpool!

Cox glanced at the tablet in his hand and told everyone helplessly:

"They're level and it's going to be extra time!"

Adre nodded and announced to the players who had just left the field:
"It's still early, everyone immediately returned to the recording room, we have to continue watching the live broadcast!"

The players who played defensive tactics for 90 minutes were a little unhappy. After hearing his instructions, they all complained:
"Cut~ this is laboring!"

"Invasion of my personal time!"

"We are going to report you to the players' union with real names!"

Adre glared at him:
"This is the best opportunity to study the opponents in the finals in advance. If anyone is unwilling, I can only exclude him from the list of the finals!"

The group of players immediately surrounded him and ran to the recording room:
"Walk around, who doesn't look at whose grandson!"

"We love watching live broadcasts the most!"

"Free competition, so delicious!"
-
Entering the video room, overtime has started for 3 minutes.

In the picture, Liverpool still has a three-centre formation. Except for Sterling to replace Lambert as a forward striker, and Moreno to replace Manquillo, their other nine starters and when they played against Wimbledon It's exactly the same, and I don't know how superstitious Rogers is about this style of play...

However, after watching the game for half a minute, Cox told the players that Liverpool had used up two substitution places, Glen Johnson replaced the frequent mistakes Sacco, and Balotelli replaced Lulu Inaction Markovic.

Hearing the second substitution, Li Bo Luo basically concluded:

"Liverpool is screwed."

Markovic still has at least one person's determination and courage to go it alone, and now Balotelli... It's really useless!
As soon as Li Bo Luo's words fell, Hazard was brought down by Skrtel after dribbling past two people in a row. Chelsea won a free kick in the frontcourt in a good position.

The winger Willian takes a free kick, and the defender Ivanovic pulls the onion on dry land to score!

After 94 minutes, the score was finally rewritten, 1:0!

Mourinho raised his arms and shouted from the sidelines, and Stamford Bridge sang their hero!

When the game restarted, Chelsea all retreated and put out the bus tactics that Mourinho is best at!

But Liverpool, who was forced into a desperate situation, replaced Moreno with Lambert at the last moment, pinning his last hope on the 33-year-old striker veteran!

Then Mourinho slapped his thigh and put on his ace killer - "Warcraft" Drogba!

Whether it is deeper than the bench, or better than the adjustment of substitutions, you are far worse than Rodgers!

After all... when Mourinho first came to the Bridge, Rodgers was just an ordinary coach at Chelsea's youth academy!

If you want to talk about seniority, you at least have to call the magic bird "Master"!
"The overall situation has been decided, Rodgers is indeed not Mourinho's opponent."

Adre shook his head:
"The final is just a month away and our opponents... are the favourites for the Premier League title this season, Chelsea."

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little quiet.

The players who were still pointing at the game just now kept their mouths shut, some lowered their eyes, and some tried their best to keep themselves calm.

It's no surprise to him that Adley sees their reactions.

Mourinho's Chelsea are almost invincible in the Premier League this season. As of the 23rd round of the league, they have only lost to two teams!
One was a 3:5 away loss to Tottenham, and one was a 1:2 away loss to Newcastle United!
You must know that even in Wimbledon, which is very dominant in the League Two, they have already lost 4 games. You can imagine how stable the Blues of the Magic Bird are!

"Head up, guys!"

Ajinfenwa clapped his palms:
"Everyone thinks we're dark horses, why can't we just be black to the end?"

Adre is very satisfied with his attitude:

"That's right, we are a mad gang!"

The third captain Phillips, the former captain Moore, and Xie A, a member of the Arsenal youth academy, also encouraged their teammates:
"What's so scary about Chelsea?"

"Tottenham can beat them 3:5, and we just beat Tottenham 3:0!"

Pochettino couldn't help sneezing on his way home.
